The Last 10 Pounds.....

Starting Weight: 125.6 Pounds

It is time that I shed the remaining ten pounds I have been lugging around since I had Max. I have been so busy with work and taking care of my son and home life that I haven't had any energy to put into dieting. I guess my wake up call was seeing my sister in law who has never looked better and works hard at staying in shape. Since becoming a mother I have put my looks on the back burner, not really putting much effort into my appearance, and it shows. I used to put such an emphasis on looks and wanting to be sexy, and that part of me is gone. I want it back. I want to feel sexy again and get that "high" back from working out and feeling great.

There is also another reason, the main reason for my wanting to get in shape. DIABETES. When I was pregnant with Max I suffered from Gestational Diabetes, and at my last doctors appointment she told me I have to be very careful since I'm at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes when I'm older. Now that scares me. I have my family to think of and don't want to wait too long before it's too late. Therefore I need to take care of myself and do it now.

So, with the support of my husband I will start working out 5 days a week after I put Max to bed and I will follow a healthy diet plan consisting of portion control, no pasta, bread (unless its whole wheat toast)and no junk.



Alcohol will be limited, which it already is. I will give myself until labor day to lose 10 pounds, and failure is not an option. Tomorrow I will weigh in, and I will post my weight every Monday. And so the diet journey begins...
